As part of its ongoing programme to create bespoke editions Rolls-Royce has unveiled its Spring/Summer 2017 collection.
Rolls-Royce association with the world of Haute Couture has long been bound by a common philosophy – taking the finest materials and crafting them into the most desirable luxury goods as expressions of their clients’ exquisite taste and lifestyle. Announcing the special editions, a RR communiqué said that under the stewardship of Design Director Giles Taylor, a team of designers from the House of Rolls-Royce, including a textile specialist and a colour and materials designer have managed to incorporate fine silks and unexpected textures into the interior environment of the Dawn.
The release also said that in creating this ‘Inspired by Fashion’ editions, these designers selected the neutral canvas of white upon which to base three vibrant colours that will set the tone for 2017’s Spring/Summer collection; Mugello Red, Cobalto Blue or Mandarin. Subtle accents of these colours adorn interior aspects of each Dawn, and the entire roof.
On opening Dawn’s coach-doors, a contemporary Arctic White and Black interior colour scheme is accented by one of the three vivid colours: Mugello Red, Cobalto Blue or Mandarin. The Arctic White leather of the seats is accented through the embroidery of the headrests, as well as the stitching and piping of the seats. Seamless stitching, a highly-complex craft technique from the world of fine tailoring, is applied to the steering wheel to ensure the perfect line joins the two colours of leather around the rim.
The dashboard created in Piano White with aluminium particles results in a silk-like appearance, with the lacquering process taking nine days of meticulous work. This is completed with the integration of a Bespoke clock, set as a piece of jewellery, styled exclusively to emit a silver on silver effect, evoking the metallic fabrics seen on this year’s catwalks in preparation for next year’s season. Accenting the Dawn’s exterior colour scheme of Andalucian White is a hand-painted coachline which drapes over the curve of the car’s hip as the line flows backwards, reflecting the identical splash of colour provided when the soft-top roof is in place.
